The names of the hurricanes are chosen from a list of names in alphabetical(字母的)order.Female and male names are chosen alternatively.For example,the first hurricane of the year will be called “Alexandra”,the second “Bernard”,the third “Catherine”,etc.
 
When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane named Hazel,girls named Hazel are probably teased(取笑)by their friends.To keep out of trouble,the Weather Bureau says,“Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental(偶然的).”
 
Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names,but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines.They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms.Because more women seem to listen to like it than dislike it,the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girl’s names for hurricanes.
 
In some ways a hurricane is like a person.After it is born,it grows and develops,and then becomes old and dies.Each hurricane has a character of its own.Each follows its own path through the world,and people remember it long after it has gone.So it is natural to give hurricanes names,and to talk about them as if they were alive.
